Frames and fractures

This episode gives us the tragic life of Jing Li. He was set up to take the fall for Empress Dowager since his fateful trip home due to Gpa’s illness. The Marquis had Lishan set up and destroyed en masse the loyalists to Emperor at the palace. He arrived home with no family or support. Jing Li was immediately under house arrest for three years while the Empress Dowager gave up in gaining the throne directly and putting her son there instead. The Marquis tortured Jing Li as a boy to give up the names of the Lishan scholars so that the Marquis could have them killed. This even included a boy his own age. These souls are what Ye Li can never forgive. His servant gives him straws to grasp but there is no chance she will change her mind. This false hope has him on a tangent to gain the throne by his own means. He starts off killing Yuan Fang who was a chief advisor and confidante to the Empress Dowager. He was chief investigator of the weapon smuggling case and intended to prove the Marquis guilty when Jing Li killed him. He was a good man and another righteous soul added to Jing Li’s list of innocents. What this evil deed accomplished was put a chink in the Marquis’ armor and a bur for the Empress to not forgive. They have reached a point of contention with this that dims his grievances with Xiu Yao in comparison. It is unclear why the Empress Dowager favors him, but for now this keeps him safe while the Marquis is expected to find the real killer or accept the blame for the crime. I don’t really know how to feel about the tragic Prince. He was caught in a web of deceit and blood that damns him with no escape. It is also unclear why Ying was tossed into it with him. She has now seen the role he must play for the palace and refuses to play along. There is still decency in him because he rescues her and shows regret for accepting a wedding he should not have. The bodies are racking up around him and his plans aren’t revealed yet, just that he has chosen this course and plans to see it to the end. Is Zhu one that has been dead? Fei Bei asks her again if she was sure that’s who saved her from the snakes. Like Xiu Yao did with the monkeys, he will continue a search where he doesn’t expect to find anyone. He has an unexpected skill as an orthopedist. Ye Li has come to him to rebreak Xiu Yao’s legs and reset them so he can heal. I am glad they did not try to show this. He has already endured long needles and med regimen and this is the toughest stage of his planned procedure. He must endure the rebreaking of the bones before he can heal. He is well aware that any missteps could result in permanent paralysis but chooses to take the risk. The trust in his eyes as he looks at her🥰 They are exquisite as a pair and their flaws just accentuate there complementary natures and abilities. It is still a mystery why the Empress Dowager made them a pair, but it was a perfect choice. There are still too many schemes and now Jing Li is added to the mix. But there does seem to be a coordinated effort, even if by accident, to undo the Marquis’ machinations and reveal him for the wretch that he is. He has lost four of his most loyal cronies, so that is definitely a step in the right direction. I am hoping they don’t drag out the recuperation of Xiu Yao and get him back on his feet soon.

A very fitting continuation

I could not fathom what episode 2 will bring, especially after how good episode 1 was. But damn, i still cannot get it out of my mind. I loved everything, how they got closer, and how that closeness brought out the thoughts that Tanrak was suppressing till how he could no longer suppress them. The last long shot of Tanrak from the dorm room to the toilet was absolutely heartbreaking and breathtaking. It was so beautifully shot, while capturing all the complex emotion of the character. How he felt that guilt not only because of lust but lust towards a boy!!! And also, no one can convince me that Barth is not gay. He knows what he is doing

The wait was definitely worth it

Honestly, the wait was so worth it! In each scene, we can literally feel the effort and thought put in to it by the cast and the team. Also the ending of the episode, with the two of them slowly getting closer in the darkness of the night, but with the morning light, there comes the fear of judgement, accurately portrayed by how the rest of them were looking down on them while the two of them genuinely looks anxious😭

Separations and reunions

They had me for a moment thinking that Haijiao was an infiltrator all along, but no... she's dead? 😦Zhang Ruipu, who I low-key hoped might become their temporary source of income, is now gone. I didn't expect that to happen so soon, to be fair. 😕The brothers are separated, but Hailou at least is with the disguised Haiqi on the ship, investigating. But Haixia? He's alone and in a wheelchair... the only relief is that he's safe for the time being. 😟🥹 But oh boy, what a badass he is! His sharp mind and precise calculations helped him escape from 10+ assassins? Wow! 👏

wow

So if they caught a corrupt criminal, their own corruption is okay. Appointing his own son-in-law to a government office, and it's even open n, it's okaybecause peakspeak bullshit and people hear it,

If you plant it, it’ll grow

At long last both managers from Mat Story company were vindicated and no longer fall guys for the company. Director Choi’s hide out at the cow farm revealed its hiding place of fraud thanks to the bathroom tile mishap of second son. Mr Bae is an interesting character. He was happy to see Choi gone, but had no evidence been found, would he have had the third factory built? I do have to wonder. Seong proved the farmland was perfect for their cabbage and the new factory plan stalled. Seong and family returned to Seoul where he had the perfect director’s office and the perfect home for his family. He was seen as a rising star in the company. The mom who has annoyed me every episode but this one….finally spoke up at a ladies gathering wondering if her family needed to waste their time watching others sing and dance. The family collectively makes the choice to return to the village and embrace the rural farming life. The scammers were caught and now Ms Choi completely freed from that experience. She is teaching the village ladies how to add hash tags and post.😂🤣 Bo Mi and eldest son are dating and he is working at a restaurant startup with future plans for his own place that he will name Spring. 🥰😁 The villagers welcome them to their community and have a ceremony to bless the land and harvests. He has decided to grow their second best crop….chili peppers. This story was cheesy and a bit far fetched, but it brought together nicely family issues we all address as life changes and kids grow up. The importance of community and appreciating the life we choose. There really isn’t a wrong choice of city or country…it’s being content in the choice and direction. For the Seong family….the village gave them extended family and purpose. It is experiencing life through the land rather than continual steps up with no end in sight. Instead of continuous competition, they opted to work as a unit to make all their lives better and happier. They are reaping what they sowed and basking in the sunshine and warmth of community. Happy farming Seong family.😁

What an amazing episode!

Oh, what an amazing episode! I think this was the most action we've gotten so far... right? 🤩⚔️🤨The bed scene was so adorable—him warming her hands and her snuggling up to him, leaving him all blushing and flustered. 🥰😳 And the mother's grave scene was so beautiful—him paying his respects and her introducing her mother to her good husband. Aww... 🤗🥹 Their relationship is so wholesome, caring and heartwarming. 💖However, the sweetness had to end at some point and all the drama elements kicked in, right? 😤 And that takes us to their journey home, where everything just got so extra interesting! 🔥We got bandits—who I don't even know why were there—ambushing the carriage... Could they have been hired by Prince Li to help him "rescue" Ye Li and take her away from Prince Ding? 🤔🤷‍♀️Then we had a lot of running and fighting, leading up to the point where Ye Li met Han Mingxi.... and apparently they've met before? And she even saved his life? 😲 Oh, he'll be our ally for sure, I think. He appeared grateful to her for helping him back then. Mingxi's family was exiled, but only he and his brother survived the journey? And now he's run away from his brother? Their family were the Crown Prince's supporters? Everything links to the fact that he might be someone of importance... I want to learn more of his backstory! 🧐And again there's Prince Li... Jealous of Prince Ding, and he seems cruel in his hidden actions and quite obsessed with Ye Li. 🤬 I bet he even enjoys her being blind so that he can lurk around her... Gaaaah, I want that man gone! I hope Ye Li gets away from him soon, possibly reuniting with Han Mingxi and escaping together? Maybe? 🙏🥺

Devil’s contract

This episode is all about Seong shouldering the blame for the villager’s names being put on a falsified document. If he signs a poor cabbage report, they can renege on their price for the land and steal it with impunity. They must have found a way around the company’s deceit because when Chief went to corporate to sell off his land, he didn’t actually sign it. So you think this will work? was on signature block.😂🤣 now on to final episode to see how they save the village.

Now its a thriller, everything is revealed. Pete has a wake up call from Niran is the highlight in this episode, but please don't be too hard on him, babygirl is just a liltle 6 eared monkey. The rituals got intense but everybody gets the hang of it.
